After winning the British Open as a rookie in 2003, I think the pressure to win again got to me. When I first came out on tour, I just wanted to make cuts, but after that win, I started pressing. So last year I went back to focusing on making cuts, and it has helped me be a more consistent player. That mind-set put me in position to win more often, especially in the second half of last season. I'm feeling more comfortable now and having more fun.
